Lower Sac Report by Kevin Kay

I decided to take my dog Minnie for her first boat ride and check out the conditions on the Lower Sac. We went way down river to one of my favorite riffles. She seemed to like the ride but turned out to be an impatient fisherman. I caught a few nice smaller trout on a dry (dropper haha) and then broke out the bobber rod while we drifted down river to the takeout. The trout were pretty grabby and we caught some nice bigger fish. But then I hooked into something bigger that really gave me a tussle. If you've ever tried to drift fish by yourself while playing a fish and trying to control the boat, you know how difficult it can be. With visions of steelhead dancing in my brain I finally got the fish to the surface and it's a……… Sucker. Oh well. In any case, the flows are perfect and the weather has been great. It was 97° today. So far no signs of the crazy flow changes we've had the last few years so I'd say conditions are ideal and it's time to book a trip on the Lower Sac!

Northern California Report by Mat Squillante

Spring is knocking, which means trout fishing is in play but there's some spring chrome around that can be a lot of fun. We bobbered most of them but we swung one up too. If the stars, weather, bugs and fish all align, we can even tempt a few to eat a well presented dry. Bobber, swing and throw dries in the same day! Sounds fun – no promises but it can happen. The run will continue into May and is just now coming into full swing. The entire crew has been on the water, so check in with us to see what's fishing or what's coming up.

Trinity River Report by Mat Squillante

The recent storm gave the river some color and a bit more water. Think, hitting fewer rocks and more fishable water. There's been decent numbers of fish around. Swing and indicator trips have produced decent action. Is it peak steelhead time? No. Can you still have a good day with fish in the 12-20" range and the chance of bumping a larger one - yes. A nice side note is there's few boats around, so it's a very peaceful day on the water.
